Required Component Data
You must specify the following information when you create a component:
1
The path where you want to put the folder that contains all files for the component.
For information on how to specify this folder, see “Specify the Location of Component
Files” on page 7-6.
2
Properties of the component. For more information, see “Specify Component
Properties” on page 7-9.
3
Display options for the component, including its display name, category, and
description. For more information, see “Set Component Display Options” on page
7-7.
Specify the Location of Component Files
You can create components that perform similar functions and group them in Package
Directories. Each package folder must have a Parent Directory that is in the MATLAB
path. When you build a new component, the MATLAB Report Generator software
creates files that make up the component. These files are stored in the folder structure
<parent>/@package_name/@class_name.
Specify these directories in the following fields in the Component File Location area of
the Properties pane:
